Erdogan Converts Another Historic Church into a Mosque


Erdogan worthy ministries(Worthy News) – Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan reconverted another historic Byzantine church into a mosque on Friday just weeks after opening the iconic Hagia Sophia to Muslim worship.

The 4th century Church of the Holy Saviour in Chora was built near ancient Constantinople as part of a monastery. The church’s current form dates to the 11th century and it contains some of the oldest surviving Byzantine Christian frescoes and mosaics. The church was converted into a mosque in 1453, until the secular Turkish government declared the church a public building in 1945.

Like the Hagia Sophia, it has operated as a museum until this year. [ Source: CBN News (Read More…) ]
